It looks like John Cena’s first title defense will come
against his long-time rival Randy Orton.
During the opening segment of Raw, the new WWE champion came
out and promised to leave WWE with the title. Cena pointed
out that he only has 27 dates left, and that’s not just
wrestling matches, but appearances included.
Cena said he’s the last real champion and invited fans to
take their cameras out and get a great picture of him with
the title. As the camera focused tightly on him, Randy Orton
appeared from behind and as soon as Cena turned, Orton
delivered an RKO out of nowhere and the crowd went
absolutely bananas.
With Cena laid out, Orton grabbed the WWE title and posed
with it, before gently putting it on Cena.
Next month’s Backlash is from Orton’s hometown of St. Louis
and a face Orton vs heel Cena is expected to main event the
show. The two share a long history together but it was
always a face Cena with a heel Orton.
